Cora woke up and realized she was in a dark dungeon somewhere, "Regina, sweetheart, wake up."
Regina groaned, "what happened?"
"I don't know, but we can't get out. My magic is gone right now."
"Mine is too."
The door flew open, "ladies, you're awake."
"What do you want?" Cora demanded.
The man walked into the light and the women gasped, "I want my revenge."
Emma, David, Snow, Granny, Red, the dwarves, Henry Sr., Eva, Leopold, Ruth, Robert, Henry, Rumple, Belle, and Neal were searching everywhere for Regina and Cora.
"I don't understand how they could just disappear," Emma said.
"Really? You don't understand how two people with magic could just disappear?" David asked.
"No, I get that. I just have this feeling that something bad has happened and something worse is going to happen."
"Hey!" Leroy came running towards the group, "he's got them!"
"Who?" Snow asked.
The dwarf came to a stop, "King George. He has Regina and Cora. I don't know where."
"How do you know he has them?" Emma asked.
"Your neighbors saw him take them, but were afraid to say something."
"Why would he take them?" Red asked.
"He blames Cora for his wife's infertility and death. I guess Cora gave the wife a potion to make her infertile. She did so in the hopes of her husband ascending to the throne. The woman eventually killed herself. Regina was a way for him to hurt Cora the way she hurt him."
"He picked the wrong wife and mother-in-law to kidnap," Emma said.
"I like the sound of that, sister," Leroy said.
"Dwarves, take the mines. Emma, Snow, and I will take the forest. Everyone else, split up around town."
They all went off to find two women they never imagine they would ever miss or worry about so much.
Cora and Regina were both confused, "what did I ever do to you?" Regina asked.
"Not you," George said, "your mother. She gave my wife a potion to make sure she could never have a baby so that your father could be King. My wife took her own life because of what your mother did to her."
"I am so sorry for what I've done," Cora said, "this is between the two of us. Please, let my daughter go."
"Your daughter is here to help me get my revenge. She is how I'm going to hurt you." George smiled and left the room.
The next time the door opened, it was someone else. "Hurry, you have to run."
"What?" Cora asked.
"He's asleep and you only have so long to run."
"Why are you helping us?"
"This is wrong. I know you have changed and made amends. I heard you tell him how sorry you were. The guy's insane."
Regina and Cora quickly stood and followed the man. He led them out of their prison and into the forest. They thanked the man and ran for their lives.
